I saw her at the sectional playoffs at Syracuse last summer when she played for a 4.5 ladies league, now a 5.0 in a mixed doubles 10.0 league – ya baby, you go girl! Reportedly she’s from the Albany area and a former college player.
The USTA Eastern Mixed Doubles sectional championship has 5 flights from 6.0 to 10.0, scheduled on June 4-6 at Central Park at Schenectady, New York. Each day the first match starts at 8am and the last one is around 2pm.
For my 7.0 flight, we have 6 teams competing for a spot in the Nationals. It’s round robin format. My team represents Metro ..

The fairytale run has ended: we’re 3:2 in the sectionals 3 court wins shy.
Only the winners and the runner ups receive trophy. I promised my troop that I’ll order them identical pieces from the trophy store in town, some time soon.
THANK you so much for being part of this team and I appreciated your contribution very much, and for putting up with me over the past six months. Being my kids are not easy: beside expected getting 120 out of 100 every time and the veggies and fruits that you have to consume and endless emails you have to digest .. .. .. Let’s keep the worst ones private -:)
